| Family Medical Leave Act
Under the current Family and Medical Leave Act, federal employees are allowed twelve weeks of unpaid leave. For many workers who are either at the lower pay grades or haven't built up their vacation time, having a child means that they will either lose several weeks of pay that is crucial to their family's survival or be forced to return to work after only a week or two. |
|
| The Paid Parental Leave Act addresses this important issue by ensuring that parents can spend at least four weeks at home with a new child without suffering devastating financial consequences. As more working families struggle to make ends meet during this devastating economic downturn, it is especially important to ensure that workers are not forced to choose between their mortgage and their new child.
